A word of advice, these books are rated at "Adult Contemporary".Other than her books are grrrrreat!! Her style is very (and I mean very) original. The characters are loveable (would make great pets). If there's one thing I can say about Lora Leigh is...........she's in a class of her own! For example.....The series of books she’s best known for, her "BREED" series. The story is about how this whole thing got started. Weird scientific experiments to create the next generations of soldiers/weapon (all in one) have gone amok. Man and beast DNA all mixed up to create a new species. To be use and discarded after the war. To be considered as a non human and to be treated worse than the wild animals they were supposed to turn out to be..............Who said that animals don't have feelings. Screw them after you read these books.
"TEMPTING THE BEAST" ...... The main characters consists of Merinus Tyler,and (of course) our hero Callan Lyons. As to how to explain the story........mmmmmmm.............let's see............Hero is half man half beast, created for the sole purpose of a weapon of mass destruction and later terminated after the mission has been accomplished. A small group of these so called “Breeds” manage to escape and established a new race of their own. Our heroine is a reporter who is interested in an expose about the new "Breed" people. What they didn't know was that 'NATURE' can never be contained (these wise words were from “Jurassic Park” part 1). But the scientists have got it wrong. Animals do have feelings. And emotion. And most surprising of all………LOVE. Even after all the hell they went through it is surprising that they were still able to place their trust in people. Ahh…I see. You’d like to know more……..go visit her website at www.loraleigh.com Oh, some of her old books from this series are constantly on sale in ebay. If you feel the hunger (like I did) go buy it!
"The Man Within" ebook cover"The Man Within" paperback cover.........
I'd rather prefer the ebook cover as it's sizzling hot (as in ow, ow.....burning hot) and the picture is just how it was describe in the book. This time, the story revolves around Roni and Taber. Our hero and heroine who have know each other for a long time. However, the last time they met, Taber gave Roni something to remember him by. But Roni, being Roni, didn't know what it was. Until now, Taber has come to reclaim what's his. Roni. She has always been his since she was just a little girl, and she will now be his, forever. As you read along you will feel the conflict that the characters have against each other. The thing that really gets you is that their 'PRIDE' gets in the way. Comparing to the first book of this series, you'll love the characters more as you'll feel the connection between them and you. Between books 2 and 3 just happened to be a surprise. We've all been reading about cats.....well.....now introducing......dogs, actually it's a Wolf Breed. 
Meet "Elizabeth's Wolf". The main characters are Dash and Elizabeth. I thought I loved Taber and Roni, but this one had me crying since I started reading the excerpt. I knew I had to get this book, come hell or high water. And I did. And I love reading every minute of it. The surprise is not Dash or Elizabeth.....ahh, if I tell you, it wouldn't be a surprise would it? The story is lovely the flow is great and most of all, the story is touching. Okay, enough already.....go get your own book to read.
Now book 3 is very difficult to read. As you've started out from book1 and 2, don't even try to measure it with Elizabeth's Wolf. Not even close. But by now, you should now understand what is going on and what the characters have been through in "Kiss of Heat".
The Council's scientist have done to them in the labs. Meet two lovers Kane, he's Merinus brother and Sherra, she's Callan's sister and a member of the "Pride", who were torn apart by the Council's lies and deceit. For so many years this two lovers have been apart through death the death of their child. Until they met again. This time Kane will do all he can to keep Sherra with him. Even if he has to fight her to the death. Whether it's his or hers, time can only tell. This story is quite tough to swallow. Since you do have to read what Merinus and Kane had gone through. Even till this date, I still can't go in to details of it as I (since I do feel like I know them like family) didn't want to know the extent of the tortures that they both went through. It was not a baptise in fire.....trust me on that.**end of part 1 **
